Couple things your not remembering here.
Novak had TWO sources. The first has now been revealed as Armitage. The second, Novak has already revealed, long ago, as Rove. He was the confirming source for Novak. Without corroboration, Rove doesn't go through with it.
Rove was Cooper's primary source in this. Cooper says that Rove came to him with this on a date before the Novak column. So it just became a matter of Armitage's man, Novak being the Prince of Darkness and willing to run the story.
This changes nothing for me. Just add Armitage to the list of those guilty of Treason.
